WHAT SIN IS

Sin is the evil of God; it is opposed to all His perfections, which it wounds, dishonours, and outrages. God is truth; sin is error and lying; God is infinite goodness; sin is wickedness and malice itself; God is essential purity and holiness; sin is defilement, abomination and opprobrium; God is infinite justice; sin is disorder and injustice; God is unity; sin is division; God is the necessary Being; sin is nothingness. Wherefore sin is the opposite of God, directly op­posed to all His divine perfections; God is the supreme Good, sin is the supreme evil.
